Hate for Gays and Pride
Check this garbage out: http://alexgtsakumis.com/2010/08/03/the-prideless-parade-drugs-extremism-and-hate-all-in-the-falsehood-of-diversity/ Someone forwarded me this post by a local blogger who posts a bunch of photos from pride with some pretty horrible and disparaging remarks about, well, everyone in the parade and those involved with the parade. Of course, he starts his whole post saying he knew a gay person, then launches into a hateful tirade against gay people! Here's the caption he posts under the photo he took of the "End the Ban" float: "Um, no, let’s not end the ban. It’s got nothing to do with being discriminatory of gays–if it was, I’d be one of the first people against it. But that’s precisely where the tainted blood came from to begin with–a high risk group. I have the same antipathy for men who frequent prostitutes and want to donate blood. Sorry, but I don’t care who you have sex with, that’s your business. If it’s from a high-risk group, though, you shouldn’t be able to donate anything except common sense by staying home–period. Freedom shouldn’t equal danger. More political correctness gone mad." And that's just the beginning... http://alexgtsakumis.com/2010/08/03/the-prideless-parade-drugs-extremism-and-hate-all-in-the-falsehood-of-diversity/

Your a looser 'Ben Gay'
No one asks you to go to Pride. Your thoughts and feeling mean nothing. Your website is a cancer and so are you. Your problem you never got laid and your a closeted Homo. Your remarks should be removed. There is no place for hate crimes as this and your website. This is not free speak but hate and that we don't need. Also @#$@$ we got all our rights we so all this for the other GLBTTQQ people around the world.
